Explain the Sub-Expression "(?> re)" in Java Regular Expressions
The subexpression/metacharacter “(?> re)” matches the independent pattern without backtracking.
Example
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class PatternExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
//Reading String from user
System.out.println("Enter a String");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String input = sc.next();
String regex = "(?>[0-9])";
//Compiling the regular expression
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
//Retrieving the matcher object
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
//verifying whether match occurred
boolean bool = matcher.find();
if(bool) {
System.out.print("Match found");
} else {
System.out.print("Match not found");
}
}
}
Output
Enter a String 9848022338 Match found
